This is a friend of mine's Gorilla Glue auto plant that just started drooping today. I have one picture of the same plant yesterday and it was fine. Then this morning it was drooping like this. We have had rain here and the guy has also been watering it. He gives it Miracle Grow every third time he waters. The soil is Moisture Control Potting Mix and it is in a 7-gallong pot. The plant just started to bud and is about 6 weeks. I suggested it was over watered. He just sent me the pictures and I haven't seen the plant. I would appreciate any suggestions. He has two other of the same strain that are drooping too. It got cold last night, but that shouldn't make them droop should it?

Have him lift the plant and pot, if it is easy to do then its dry
If it is as heavy as if just feed a full water , have him stop watering/

I am thinking prob has full weight lay off water
I understand what you are saying and I am pretty sure he is lifting the bags up before he waters. That would explain the sudden wilting and all three doing it. It is really a simple thing, but we got rain from Ida.

Either it was sprayed with Round Up or it is drowning imo.
I don't know what is in the moisture control potting soil.

Probably perlite. Many soils and soil less products on the market have perlite in it but when mixing soil I add another 25% perlite to the mix. However you can still over water. I like runoff trays. constant water in the bottom means to much H2O.
I just found out the plants needed water. I thought for sure they were overwatered. We had a couple days of rain and I know he waters almost everyday. Those were seeds from ILGM. The one plant is very tall but it should get a lot bushier with the buds. I grew a plant inside and of course it wasn't that big. I was surprised how good the weed is because it is an auto flower. That must not matter.

Glad you found the problem
Thank you!
You can tell by lifting to see if it's dry.
They are giving the plants a couple gallons a day now and so far everything is good.
